Last year I had the chance to take part on two volumes of Paparola project. According to Barcanova, the publishing house, it is supposed “to stimulate intellectual activity on early aged kids, in order to teach them how to connect what they learn and what they already know”.

It mainly consists of a box full of educational resources, such as games, cards and books. I was lucky enough to illustrate two books and some games and activities as well.

When it comes to these early ages, and educational contents, drawings must be clear and simple. That is the reason why I chose to do vector illustrations. I think it gives a good definition to the set.

In regards to books, I had to combine my illustrations with real photographies in one of them. It is something that more than one illustrator is afraid of, unless they are their own pictures. It is well known that this kind of photographies, for educational contents, are not the most beautiful snaps, and sometimes it is hard to get an attractive image thanks to the illustration.
